Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has been granted limited immunity by the Department of Justice to answer questions.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche grilled Maxwell for about nine hours over two days in hopes that he could gain more information about Epstein and any others who may have committed crimes in relation to the pair.
Limited immunity is a common feature of an interview between the government and someone behind bars. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking underage girls.
Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, said she answered questions about “maybe 100 different people” and “didn’t hold anything back.”
He also said Maxwell isn’t expected to receive anything in return for her testimony.
“We haven’t asked for anything. This is not a situation where we are asking for anything in return for testimony or anything like that,” Markus added on Friday. “Of course, everybody knows Ms. Maxwell would welcome any relief.”
Blanche said he would reveal what he learned from Maxwell “at the appropriate time.”
President Donald Trump evaded a direct answer when pressed whether he would pardon Maxwell in answers to reporters Friday.
“I haven’t thought about it,” Trump said when asked about a possible pardon for Maxwell. “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about.”
He suggested the press should focus on Democrats like former President Bill Clinton, who is also known to have associated with Epstein, instead.

“They should speak about that because they don’t talk about them. They talk about me,” Trump continued.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the DOJ on the Maxwell meeting, but they declined to comment on it.
